The invention discloses a device and a method for simulating influence of
salinity stress in freezing and thawing periods on
germination of rhizomes of emergent aquatic plants, and belongs to the field of
germination experiments of emergent aquatic plants in cold and
arid regions. The device comprises an outdoor main
pool and a research laboratory auxiliary
pool which are communicated through a closed channel with double gates, the bottoms of the main
pool and the auxiliary pool are provided with sliding ways and moving ways, and translation lead screws in the moving ways are matched with electromagnets to drive a base frame to move without icebreaking; and the main pond is matched with a
freeze thawing,
salinity and nutritive salt regulation and control module. According to the method, an L18 (3 * 6) orthogonal table is adopted to design a freeze-thaw mode,
salinity and nutritive salt three-factor experimental combination, a base frame is transferred to an auxiliary pool without icebreaking, layering morphology and physiological indexes are measured synchronously, harvesting is conducted at the last stage of an experiment, and data variance analysis is conducted. According to the invention, undisturbed monitoring of the experimental environment is realized, the composite stress environment is accurately restored, the three-factor effect is quantified, a scientific basis is provided for ecological restoration of the
saline-alkali
wetland, the operation is convenient, and the
repeatability is high.
